Mexican Cooking Lessons
Learn about Mexican culture and the Spanish language by learning about Mexican cooking. Good food is an integral part of Mexican culture that is interwoven throughout the customs and traditions of Mexico. Many Mexican holidays - and there are a lot - involve specially prepared food that you will not find anywhere but Mexico. By learning about Mexican cooking, you will more fully appreciate the interesting, fun and tasty aspects of Mexican culture.
Mexican Cooking Lessons in the School
Once a month, we offer a free Mexican cooking lesson in the school cafeteria. Our chief "cocinera" offers careful supervision that ensures yummy results from even the most "culinarily challenged" students.
You will learn more than how to cook a Mexican dish. We will also explain the history and traditions involved. These lessons are free for all current TEFL and Spanish students.
Mexican Cooking Lessons in Homestays
Our host families also help students learn to prepare traditional Mexican meals. this is the best way for you to get truly immersed in the wonderful world of Mexican cooking. Just choose a traditional Mexican dish that you think you will be able to prepare. Your host family will then provide the ingredients and explain how to prepare your gastronomic masterpiece.
If time permits, we encourage students and hosts to do this once a week. This way, you will become familiar around a Mexican kitchen.
We also encourage students to shop for their own ingredients. This is a good way to practice your Spanish and perhaps see parts of Guadalajara that you might otherwise miss. Also, there is no better place than the supermarket to tell your hosts about what food you do and do not like.
Buen provecho!
